Another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place for coach Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball. After heavily recruiting point guard Acaden Lewis, he joins Malachi Moreno and Jasper Johnson as commits to the Wildcats for 2025. The announcement was streamed by On3.
The final three schools were Kentucky, Connecticut and the Duke Blue Devils. He made his announcement on Saturday afternoon, choosing Pope and the Wildcats. Experts had predicted the choice for several weeks before he made it official.

Lewis is a 6’2″, 170 lb point guard out of Washington, D.C. He is rated four stars by 247sports and is ranked as the number 32 overall player in the 2025 class.
The commitment now gives Kentucky three players ranked in the top 40 of the 2025 class. Lewis, Moreno, and Johnson are a very nice trio heading into next year, and they hope to make it a foursome soon.
All eyes now shift to Caleb Wilson and Chris Cenac Jr. Pope would love to land one of the two, and it would certainly give him a top five group for his first recruiting class.
